21-year-old man arrested for allegedly driving drunk, evading arrest

Police arrested a 21-year-old motorist early Thursday for allegedly driving 90 mph on I-10 in East El Paso, then trying to run from police after he was pulled him over.

Michael Cedillos was arrested on suspicion of driving while intoxicated with an open alcohol container and evading arrest or detention. Police said Cedillos also had four outstanding warrants, including one for allegedly driving 87mph in a 60 mph zone.

Police said an officer allegedly spotted Cedillos driving a 2004 Honda Civic just after midnight Thursday. The officer pulled Cedillos over at Gateway West and Lomaland.

Police said Cedillos allegedly got out of the Honda and began running west on the gateway away from the officer. Several other officers were called to the scene and Cedillos was caught a short distance away.

Police said they found an open 12-ounce bottle of beer on the driver's side floor board.

Cedillos was booked into the El Paso County Jail on bonds totaling $4,063.
